...This summer, for the first time, the clerics' portraits have been put on public display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where they are supplemented by loans from the Jefferson Medical College and the museum's own large Eakins collection.

Though his portrayals are sympathetic, he uncovered strain, doubt, fear, pettiness and self-pity -qualities that belied the traditional view of the priesthood as a calling above...

The course, a one-month summer institute that has just been completed at City College of San Francisco, was unique. It was designed to send teach ers back to campus in the fall with a better understanding of the ghetto-bred stu dents in their classes...
Some of the teachers were apprehensive about entering the summer institute: one woman instructor asked Towbis if he could guarantee her safe conduct for the month; another teacher updated his will before leaving home in Tennessee and took out a $37,000 life-insurance policy. Towbis, who is working for a doctorate in education at Berkeley, brushed aside their fears. He insisted on the need for daily immersion in slum areas to "understand the kids' background from working in the ghetto instead of out of sociology books...
